Dad's loving pet, Shekela, was a great part of dad's every day life.  She would make him laugh until he cried.
Dad was nothing but a barrell of fun with so much laughter and a great sence of humor.  Stubborness often kicked in, with no other intention than to "drive us nuts."  Dad had charm and charisma to go along with his handsome good looks. Dad will be missed by all the friends and family who were blessed to know him.
